This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you,
that God is Light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5
God is light means so many things. It means there’s no darkness in Him at all. There is nothing that can be hidden; there is nothing that you would be ashamed of. If you just say - let me look into Gods life, you cannot see something that God would want to be hiding!! One thing you about light is that it is transparent. Light, by it very nature reveals. Light does not conceal, it does not hide anything .Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: That’s why verse 11 of Ephesians 5 says, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them”.
One property of light is that light is not ashamed of its work; light has nothing to hide! Actually light does not hide anything neither does it hide anyone; rather light actually reveals. If you put on light, light will point out everything, every contour, every mark, every scratch on the surface. When light is so strong there is no shadow at all. Every good gift and every perfect gift cometh down from above and is from the father of light, with whom there’s no variableness, neither shadows of turnings. The Bible says the message we heard from Jesus was that God is Light and that in Him there is no darkness at all - there is no here and there with God, there is no shadow of turning - there is no hide and seek with God. God is Light! When you come to God, He doesn't say Yes and No at the same time. His Yes is always Yes and His No is always No! You cannot meet God with double tongue. Whatever God said 2,000 years ago, He is still saying it today! He stands by His conviction, He doesn't swallow His words. God is Light AND in Him there is no darkness at all!
The message that we heard from Him from the beginning is that God is Light. That if anybody wants to relate with God in fellowship; if anybody says, Look “I belong to Jesus, I belong to God, I have been saved, I have been born again” - one of the first things to notice about that individual is that he/she is light! There will be no darkness about him/her, there will be nothing to hide.
The believers of those old times are transparent. They are transparent because they knew that God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all!
Here are some questions you need to ask yourself .“Did you say you were in fellowship with God the Father and the Son? Did you say that you were preparing for that eternal fellowship in the heavenlies? Can we check your life now?” If your answer to these questions is not very certain, you might need to retrace your steps, and set your priorities right today.
Several of you listening to me today are very good church members but the Pastor does not know everything about your life! There is darkness about you! There is darkness about your character! There is darkness about your life! There is darkness about your life! In the office where you are working, you are not straight forward - your life cannot be predicted! There are so many things that are confusing about you.
Now! The question I want to put to you is that - IF you are preparing to join that general fellowship that is above, what message did you hear and darkness has not disappeared in your life?
Several of you are telling lies and you call it diplomacy! Several of you stand up and even on the pulpit you exaggerate and you collect money from peoples pockets and you never declare everything! I wonder what kind of message you heard from the beginning.
Friend! What kind of message did you believe that DID NOT remove darkness from your life? There are very many areas of darkness - dark corners - in your life! There are many things that are unknown about you. Oh it is so painful today that several brothers, several Christians, several Prophets, several Prophetesses, several Evangelists - that it is only when they die that we begin to discover terrible things that they have covered.
Now that Scripture says - THIS then is the message that we heard from Him and we declare unto you that God is Light AND in Him is no darkness at all! Are you a Bible-School student? See the kind of exaggeration, see the kind of fictitious claim you are sending back to your own church! And I want to ask you - Have you really encountered God who is light in Whom there is no darkness at all? Can you say you are walking in fellowship with Him and your life is not straightforward?
However. you can be be able to give correct and straight forward answers these numerous questions by rededicating and surrendering your life to Jesus Christ. Salvation is too important an issue to be doubtful about. Surrender your life today, and begin to light up the world as Jesus had said you really are.
